Will a HDMI up convert DVD player play blu-ray disks as well?
DVD players cannot play Bluray discs. The lasers and the data storage are different so no data can be read from a Bluray disc in a DVD drive. That is the case whether or not there is any up-scaling available in the player. Bluray players on the other hand are quite happy to play DVDs as well as Bluray discs.
What features does the BlueRay Remote Control have?
BluRay remotes are simply remotes designed to work with BluRay players. They're often infrared and are fairly cheap.
North American blu-ray player play region 2 bluray discs?
North America is classed as region 1 for DVD, Bluray and games coding. The codes are there specifically to prevent discs from one region being used in another. Region 2 covers Europe. There have been a handful of DVD players that did not check the region code and would play discs from any region. Bluray players appear to be far more tightly controlled and it is very unlikely that any commercially available player will allow the coding to be bypassed. It is possible that players can be modified to remove the coding restrictions but these are unofficial modifications, void warranties and cannot be guaranteed to work continuously. As frustrating as the region coding is, the easiest and lowest cost route to take is to buy discs intended for use on your own player. Note that as the region coding is a commercial protection, non commercial DVD and Bluray discs do not have the code and can be handled by any player. That is subject to the player and the television handling European 50Hz content. The US normally uses 60Hz video so there is still no guarantee that your specific setup will work. It's a case of studying the manuals to make sure.
Do all ps3 have Blu-ray?
Yes they are. They all play DVDs and Blu-Ray discs.Yes they do. They need to be connected to the HDTV with 1080P and a HDMI cable for the Bluray to work as a Blue ray disc player
Do you need a special television ie HD to watch Blu-ray discs from a Blu-ray player?
Bluray players will work with most televisions but an HD television is needed to see the content in HD quality. Blu-Ray players will only operate with a standard definition television using the analog outputs on the player. The outputs are standard definition of course, so the HD quality of the BluRay disc won't be seen.
Can DVD-Audio discs work on normal DVD Players?
Yes
Do you need a special DVD player to play Blu-ray movies?
BluRay discs carry high definition television and therefore store data in a high density format. A standard definition DVD player will not recognise a BluRay disc and will simply report an error if one is loaded. On the other hand, a BluRay player will not only play BluRay discs but will also handle standard DVDs. Most will also recognise and play CD format discs. Most Bluray players will also down convert the HD signal from a BluRay disc so that it can be viewed on a standard definition television. In this case, of course, the image quality will be the same as any other standard definition signal. To benefit from the high definition signal, an HD television is also required.
Will Blu-ray work on a normal DVD machine?
No. Blu-Ray discs will only work on Blu-Ray players and the players will only work on HDTVs
What is the difference between Cds DVDs and Blu ray discs?
CDs, DVDs and BluRay discs all work in similar ways. The primary difference is the data density on each disc. CD is the lowest density. A DVD can store several times the amount of data on the same surface area and BluRay will store several time the amount of a DVD.
Do Blu-ray discs work in Blu-ray 3d players?
Yes, it works
Will American ps3 work in Europe?
Yes but there's a couple of things you need to make sure are done right. The display, the power and the Bluray Discs. This is the easiest way: 1. Buying a modern flat-screen and using HDMI is the best way to go since HDMI works with NTSC (America) and PAL (Europe) in most cases. 2. As for power your PS3 should have an universal power supply (120V / 240V), check the labeling to be sure. You'll have to find an adapter for the outlet though. 3. Don't worry about the Bluray Discs. If they're official PS3 Bluray Discs, they're region free and can work on any PS3.
